It's authentic, made in 1997. The color isn't tabac, it is mahogany.

Thank you so much!

Fake.

ETA: It's not *ladybug1*'s first rodeo with fakes.

In the following thread, she asked about a fake Coach bag and had a really bad fake LV listed.

At your convenience, could I please have your opinion about this? Thank you.

Item: Coach Madison Wallet
Item number: 165551978140
Seller: mbralala
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/165551978140
Comments: Not sure about the Coach stamp and location.

Looks fake to me! More opinions are welcome.

I think it's trying to be a style 4479 Madison Checkbook Case (not sure about the name, it's not shown in any of my catalogs) but along with the too-big stamp there are some small problems with various parts of the stitching. I haven't found ANY Madison wallets with such a huge stamp, and there's a detail in the only 2 probably genuine photos I have of that style that's missing on the red one. I'm going to look through the scanned catalogs just to try and be safe but I'm not comfortable with it either.

If you haven't bought, please don't

ETA - looking at the overhead shots, even the V stitching on the tab with the snap is lopsided. Definitely fake.

Thank you both for your time and opinions, very much appreciated.

@mrk2014 - I assume you were the winner and backed out of the purchase when you learned that the wallet is fake. Am I correct?

Did you tell mbralala why you were cancelling? Does she know it's fake?

I ask because mbralala has relisted the fake!

Hi.Authenticators.
Can you take a look at this bucket?

Item: Coach bucket
Where purchased or how obtained: FB live bidding
Comments: I just bid it on live fb but then I cancelled because when I messaged for the serial number, it was JMM- 9165. Made in The United States. I just want to make sure I was right to cancel. The creed is a little blur though.
Thank you in advance.

Yes, it was one of those impulse buys that later on had me thinking, so I asked for the authenticator's opinion.

I explained to the seller that I wanted to cancel, because it had been confirmed here to be counterfeit. Seller replied that no that it was authentic but would agree to cancel. I sent another message with the info given as why is not real, something I didn't mention at first, if now knowing the details still is not removed, then obviously is a shady seller.

Item: Green Mattress-Ticking Lined Wallet
Seller: Local Thrift Store
Dimensions: 7.25" long by 4.25" tall

Comments: Please offer an opinion about authenticity, thank you. I haven't come across one of these "mattress-ticking lined" accessories in a long time. My memory is that they were probably made in the late 1980s, is that correct?

Was anyone ever able to find the name of this line and/or the names of some of the products? I've looked through the catalog pages without having any luck. I've been calling it a "Turnlock Flap Wallet" but I don't know the actual name. I think that it's a wallet because it has a stripe-lined zip change compartment and a bill compartment, but there are no slots for cards. I suppose it could be called a case or a pouch instead of a wallet? Any information you can share would be appreciated, thanks in advance for your help!
